Binary flow monitor for use in all media
November 2002
Flow Measurement & Control
The SI 1006 binary flow monitors from IFM Electronic provide reliable flow monitoring of all media. A selection of process fittings makes it possible for many applications can be accomplished with the same sensor.
Installation and set-up is fast via the pushbutton programming unit, and the specially designed process connection reduces the number of parts required for operation. The flow monitor is unaffected by the orientation of the sensing face with respect to the direction of flow, and its display can be individually rotated providing increased flexibility of installation.
Using microprocessor technology, the flow monitors feature simple pushbutton programming that enables safe and fast switching point setup for overflow and underflow monitoring. This is complemented by easy adjustment of the sensor to the flow rate. The switching point can also be set prior to installation in the pipe and secured by an electronic lock, providing additional time saving factors during installation.
In order for the type SI 1006 to provide a fast visual readout, the display indicates the current flow, switching point and the status of the switching output. Meeting IP67 requirements, the units are manufactured in high grade stainless steel, are vibration and shock resistant, and pressure resistant up to 30 MPa (300 bar). The flow monitors have a 1 to 10 second response time and are suitable for use in a temperature range from -25 to +80°C.
